Yup she happens three months pregnant with my brother's unborn kid. So I've been deal with that bomb shell and few other things.
Anyway I got the chapter done so enjoy.
Raised to bring hell.
Two ninjas were running along a torn land making their hasty escape after the huge score mission being accomplished at Konoha. Both had head bands that showed three diagonal lines signifying that they wre from Yugakure, both men were wearing all black suits, and had vast selection of weapons on them.
One man had short messy brown hair and a couple of scars on his face. He shouted to his teammate. "Don't you dare lose the package; we can't afford to lose it." The second man had long black hair tied in a ponytail and replied. "Don't worry about it I got it just worry about getting the fucking out of here." They continued to run.
They kept running nonstop until the brown man slowed down till he was right behind his partner to check on the package he open the bag and check if it was intact and it was then he closed the bag. "Man I can't believe we're getting this much for this job huh Ryu." "Well believe it Wadomaru, it no surprise that the Tsuchikage wants this, Anyway when do we get to the checkpoint?" Asked Ryu
"We're supposed to meet a contact in a town named Moulin and we should get there by tomorrow morning." Answered Wadomare. "Well the hell are waiting for, let's get our payday." The two men started running faster then before.
*next day: Moulin*
It was around 5 o'clock when they arrived at the town. Tired and restless the since they had not stopped running since they left Konha. They stared head to the casino called Lucky Royal. They quickly walked inside and made their way through the crowds and head towards a stirs case. "So what room is the contact in?" Asked ryu.
wadomare answered. "He's an ex Takigakure ninja that goes by the name Ragdoll, so we're looking for a waterfall symbol." "An ex ninja?" "Well now he's just a mercenary, doing jobs that village won't do... founded it." The stopped at a door with a crossed out waterfall symbol on it.
They opened the door and saw a masked man with a slash going through his headband turn from the window to the desk. The most visible trait he had was his tan skin with stitching all over his body and turquoise eyes with red surrounding them. The two men walked up to the desk and Wadomaru asked. "Are you ragdoll?"
The masked man put his elbows on the table and put his hand together and simple nodded. Ryu looked at Wandomare, than nodded. Wandomare took the bag off of Ryu's back the gently put in front of the man ragdoll. "There's the package now where's the money ragdoll."
You may call me Kakuzu.
Kakuzu then grabbed the bag and opened to check it, he lift an eyebrow. "So this is package?" "It is. The Tsuchikage told us everything we needed about what we were to obtained it." "We're just lucky that village was already under attack by the Kyuubi, we had used the attack to sneak into the village and get it." Wandomare answered. Kakuzu reached his hand into the pack and pulled out a blanket that was wrapped something else up. He moved the blankets aside and saw the face of a baby, a blonde haired baby sleeping peacefully.
Ryu slammed his hand on the table shouting, "Hey you got the kid already now give us the money!" Kakuzu wrapped the baby back up in the blanket and put him back into the pack gently. He then moved pack aside and told the two, "The Tsuchikage told me that after I got the package that I'll give you your reward." Kakuzu pulled out a metal case from under the desk placing it on the table. He opened the case and said, "Here is your 50 million ryo."
Wandomare reached to counted it but the Kakuzu slammed it close, trapping Wandomare's hand causing him pain. Before him or ryu could react a bunch of tread-like needles came out of Kakuze arm and spearing them through their bodies. As his life faded from him Wandomare looked at Kakuzu and faintly asked. "Why." Kakuzu just simply smirked and said. "Let's just say the Tsuchikage didn't want any lose ends."
The tread-like needles retracted back into Kakuze arm making the bodies of the dead ninjas hit the floor. he wiped the blooded off his hand the opened the case to let wandomare's lifeless hand free. He then grabbed the package and the case and walked out. As he closed the door he couldn't help to smirk but it short lived.
he heard crying and felt the bag moving and he knew the baby was awake now, probably from all the noise he made when he killed the men. Kakuzu quickly reentered the room then grabbed the pack and opened it up, he needed to shut the kid up. He lifted the baby and held it as far as possible, not knowing what to do.
He stared at the baby. In all his years as a ninja he had no clue what to do. As the baby continued to cry non-stopping he quickly tried to think because, surely someone heard the baby and wanted to see what happened and would see the bodies. He put the baby back into the pack despite it crying and grabbing the case full of money. He did a few handsigns and placed his hand on the glass making a small hole enough for him to jump through it.
He landed on a roof top and jumped to another and another until he landed by a store. He entered and looked around, and it didn't seem to have anyone in it. Before anyone saw him he looked around for something that he could use to shut the baby up and found a bottle of milk, taking it quickly he left the store quickly without anyone noticing him.
* Twenty Minutes Later *
Kakuzu was far outside the town and he hid in a cave. He ripped a part of cloth from his shirt and poured some of the milk soaking it completely he placed the cloth in the baby's mouth letting the baby suck out the milk from the cloth, when the baby opened his eyes Kakuzu saw cerulean blue eyes that reminded him of someone, but he didn't care to much to think about it. After a while he got curious and unraveled the baby and looked inside his diaper and said, "So you're a boy." The little baby boy stopped eating and made a strange face at the man.
Not knowing what to do next. He then remembering that he saw and heard about over the years he sat the baby up on his knee and began to pat his back until the baby made a burping noise. He wrapped him back up and looked at him and said, "Listen I'm only taking care of you until I get you to the Tsuchikage, I don't really care what happens after that but for now, you need to alive." He placed the baby back into the pack and picked up the case then began his journey to Iwagakure. The only bad thing was that the Tsuchikage had set up his meeting with the kidnappers in a town that was far east of Fire Country, which meant he had to travel across the Land of Fire and Takigakure territory to Iwagakure to collect his reward.
He felt the baby move in the pack and ignore it, up until he began to cry
* A Day after the Kyuubi attack: Nightfall: Konoha *
In Konoha's village at the base of the mountain was a tower belonging to the village's leader called the Hokage. The village was in desperate need of repairs after the giant fox demon called the Kyuubi attacked causing massive earthquakes and fires that destroyed a lot of the village. Currently residing in the building was a young man with spiky blonde hair with his hands covering his face, and wearing the standard jounin attire which was a green combat vest jacket and a dark blue long sleeve ninja shirt and ninja pants. He was wearing his hokage cloak which was white with red flames along the bottom over his attire. This man looked to have seen better days and showed that he had been doing a lot of crying.
The door to his office swung open revealing a young man wearing a porcelain animal mask, standard uniforms consisting of black and gray armor, metal arm guards, and a signature spiral tattoo on their left shoulder. Though his animal mask of a dog covered his face he had a distinct gray hair that was defying gravity pointed to the left side of his head.
The man politely bowed in front of the Hokage's desk saying, "There is still no sign of him Hokage-sama. We don't even know where to start off first, most of the land and the village itself is greatly damaged and it's near impossible to find out what direction the kidnappers might have gone." The man look down and didn't respond. The young man moved closer saying, "Sensei?"
The Hokage looked up revealing cerulean blue eyes and a couple of tear that made their way down his cheeks. He looked at the young man asking, "Kakashi… are you're sure you didn't find anything?" The young ninja named Kakashi shook his head, "sorry sensei. All the available ANBU tracked looking for your son, but are coming up empty handed."
Young kage leaned back in his chair putting one of his hands on his head and said, "Kushina won't stop crying and no matter what I do or do she seems to get worse." Kakashi stayed quite not knowing what say after everything that's happened. Minato said again, "Nothing went how it was supposed to. Arashi got siblings and not one, but two. He was more than happy then both Kushina and I when he found out that Kushina was having twins."
Kakashi took his mask off showing his headband that had a leaf on it and the headband was slanted covering over his left eye. He placed his mask on the desk saying, "With all due respect nothing sir, life never goes as planned, not even for a kage. We are ninjas after all and nothing is set in stone for us." Before the Hokage could respond his door opened up and walking through it was a tall man with long spiky white hair, a long red vest, a green gi, a net shirt underneath that, red sandals, and a large scroll on his back.
When the man saw who it was he stood up asking, "Jiraiya-sensei! Please tell me you found something!" The older man named Jiraiya shook his head, "Sorry Minato I didn't find out anything, but I've only been to a few villages outlining Konoha that are a good distance away and found nothing. Whoever kidnapped your son has gone off farther to avoid being seen, but to what village or town is unknown. Sorry I couldn't find out anything."
The Hokage named Minato fell back into his chair cursing under his breath. Jiraiya looked at Kakashi and then to his student walking over to him and sign before telling him, "Minato listen, I hate to be the one to say this, but if your kid was kidnapped by one of your enemies, then his chance of survival is zero." Minato looked up at his sensei and couldn't believe what he just said. Jiraiya saw his eyes and continued, "Minato I know it hard but you have to come back to reality. Even if it wasn't one of your enemies and just a random kidnapper, his chance of make it aren't any better."
Kakashi walked up to his sensei as well, "He's right sensei. As much as the village would like to see the brighter side that we will find Naruto, you and they need to understand that that's not how the world works." Minato shook his head not wanting to believe any of what he was hearing, but before he could say anything Jiraiya told him, "Minato, you have a beautiful wife that needs you, and your older boy Arashi needs you, and your daughter Haru need you the most. She has the Kyuubi sealed inside of her and she will need you to guide her and teach her how to control her power."
Jiraiya's words sunk in a little and as Minato fell back into his seat. Jiraiya ran his hand through his spiky hair saying, "I suggest you let me take over as temporary kage until you can get a handle on everything" Minato nodded. Good, now go home and rest… your family needs you." Minato stood up without saying anything and walked out of the room leaving the two ninjas in his office.
* Hokage Mansion *
Minato walked to the most secure place in the village where the Hokage's mansion was built during the village's founding. It was a two story home with a large front and back yard and a very big training ground. He stopped in front of the huge gate and lazily opened the door walking across the path to his home, looking ahead he saw a lot of toads large, small, and some giant ones taller than himself. Each toad was croaking a sad melody and watched him walk into his home, he dragged his feet across the ground and up the stairs slowly. He stopped after he got up the stairs in front of a door with two names hanging on the door that red 'Haru & Naruto's Room'.
He opened the door up and saw half the room was painted blue and the other half was painted pink. The room had two cribs, two chairs, and one changing table that was on the farthest wall. Minato noticed that both cribs were empty and he left the room closing the door behind him. He walked down the hall quietly stopping at the master bedroom.
He moved to open the door, but it opened up revealing a blonde hair woman who looked to be in her thirties with fair skin and brown eyes and a small diamond shaped object on her forehead that was a violet color. Except for her bangs, which are parted in the middle and fall down the sides of her face, she has long, blonde hair that's tied into two ponytails using bands in the same color as the seal on her forehead. She was wearing a grass-green robe with the kanji for gamble written in black on the back, inside a red circle. Underneath she wears a khaki, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her trousers. Her blouse is closed quite low, revealing her sizable cleavage. She wears open-toed sandals with low heels and nail polish in the same color as her trousers and obi on both her fingernails and toenails.
The woman looked saddened and said, "She really needs you right now gaki." Minato nodded and said, "Thank you Tsunade-oba, I'll take it from here." The woman Tsunade moved to the side letting him through and she closed the door once he was inside. Minato walked into his dark room with the only light coming from the moon's rays outside his window. He looked at his king-sized bed and saw his wife sitting up on the bed with their oldest son laying his head on her lap and she had her baby girl in her arms rocking her back and forth humming a soothing melody with a few sobs coming out of her mouth every now and then.
Minato quietly walked over to the bed letting his cloak he had on fall to the floor, he sat on the bed and was facing his wife reaching out to move a few strands of her long red hair from her face looking into her dark violet eyes. She looked up and saw Minato with a concerned look on his face. He asked his wife, "How are you?"
His wife simply said, "I want my son… I want my Naruto… Where is he?" Minato let his hand fall and he told her, "Kushina you need to rest." Kushina shook her head and said, "I don't need rest I need my son… Where is he?" Minato winced as she asked that and had no choice but tell her the truth, "Kushina-chan, I'm sorry." Minato closed his and swallowed then continued. "They couldn't find any trace of where the kidnappers could've gone. With the Kyuubi attack every trace of potential evidence might have been wiped away." He looks at the tiny baby in her arms and notes her appearance. The small baby girl had blonde hair and three whisker birthmarks on each cheek; he pulled the blanket off of her looking at the seal on her belly.
His wife held the baby closer to her chest letting a few tears slide down her cheek. Minato got up and sat right next to her and pulled her into a hug rubbing her head to try and soothe her. Arashi woke up at that point and sat up looking at his parents, he saw how sad they were asking his dad, "D-Dad? Did they find Naruto yet?" Minato looked at his son and pulled him into the hug as well, "No my son they didn't find him yet… I don't think they will neither…"
Arashi hugged his dad back and he could hear a sobbing sound coming from his father, but couldn't look up. He said to his parents, "Mom, Dad… When I get older I'm gonna find him, I'm going to find Naruto, I promise I will." Minato smiled and he rubbed the top of his son's hair telling him, "Even if they don't find him, we shouldn't give up hope that he's out there somewhere and if you say you'll find him, then you'll find him."
Kushina heard what her oldest son said and felt more relieved now that he said that and tried to hum the melody she was doing before to keep her baby Haru asleep. They all laid back down believing that their baby Naruto was still alive somewhere.
* Three Days Later: Land of Earth *
Kakuzu was in no hurry to get to Iwagakure, he was sure that the Tsuchikage wouldn't be happy to see him after an unfortunate incident years ago and kakuzu felt the same. He stopped at a small restaurant for travelers and he took a seat, ordering his food he took the baby out of the pack and pulled out bottle filled with milk he got awhile back. If he wanted the reward for this mission then he needed to make sure the baby was well taken care of until he got to Iwagakure. One of the waitresses came over giving him a bowl of curry he ordered and saw the small baby in his arms commenting on how cute the baby was, "Oh he's soooooo cute! What's the little one's name?"
He stopped feeding the baby for a moment and handed the baby to her asking, "Hold him for a moment." The girl was confused but took the baby and watched as he turned his back to her and began to eat. She sat down and unraveled the baby from his blanket and inspected him finding a band on his little ankle. She said out loud, "So your name is Naruto Namikaze is it? That's a cute name."
At that moment Kakuzu froze his eyes widened. He quickly put his bowl down he quickly pulled out some money and slammed it on the table and turned to the woman taking the baby, and run outside. He left his pack and a few other things back at the restaurant all the while thinking, 'That fucking idiot! He had those two ninjas kidnap the Yondaime Hokage's son! How the fuck did I not see, the blonde hair, the blue eyes, and now that fucking name!' Kakuzu picked up the pace running even more quickly. He glanced down at the baby and saw that his eyes were open and staring right at him still giggling.
He said to the baby, "Shut up and don't give me that look! I have to get you to Iwa now!" Naruto began to giggle and held his arms out to Kakuzu, but the ninja tried to ignore him and kept running wanting to get this over with now.
* Iwagakure *
The rocky mountain ranges that surround the village and country provide a natural stronghold. The village profits from this advantageous position and is proud of its strong defenses. The village sits among the mountain range consisting of small narrow waterfalls, with the buildings being composed of rock and stone; shaped from large, elevated formations of rock into tower-like structures. Many of its buildings sit on cliffs connected by a network of bridges. The Tsuchikage's palace seems to be the tallest structure with a cone shaped roof.
Though for Kakuzu that made it more difficult as getting through these mountains was no cake walk. He reached up and took off the metal plate of his headband and buried it, reaching into his ninja pouch he took out a scroll that had the Iwa symbol on it which was two rocks with the smaller rock in front of the bigger rock. Setting his other weapons on the ground where his headband plate was he kept the baby cradled in his arm and slowly walked to the entrance of the village.
When he got close to the gate he found himself surrounded by ten Iwa ninjas. One of the Iwa nins asked, "What business do you have here stranger?" Kakuzu used had Naruto cradled in his right arm and used his left hand to hold out the scroll to the ninja. The man carefully took hold of the scroll unraveling it he red it's contents and then closed it up. He told Kakuzu, "This way."
Kakuzu followed the man across a bridge to the Tsuchikage tower. They entered the tower and came to a stop at what he assumed was the Tsuchikage's door, the Iwa nin knocked on the door and they heard a deep voice say, "Come in, come in." The ninja pushed the doors aside and walked in with Kakuzu following behind him. Kakuzu noticed two other men in the room and they began to take their leave. He saw that both had strong aura's and noted each of them.
The first was a kind of older man wearing a large headpiece consisting of a three pointed crown-like ridge, bearing both his Iwagakure forehead protector and ring, and a prominent black piece of armor running across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. Despite his advanced age, his hair is a solid red color.
The second was a very tall man that was heavily armored with a furnace on the back that emits what looks to be steam. His armor extends all the way to the bottom half of his face, covering it up. Aside from his red armor, he also wears a red kasa (conical straw hat) that seems to be composed of metal. Over his armor he wears a black gi, with the sleeves seemingly torn off.
He looked at the desk and saw a very short man as small as a child, His facial features include a triangular beard and a mustache with angular corners. He has a big red nose and thick eyebrows. The top of his head is completely bald, although he he has some hair at the back and sides of his head, the back of which is tied with a yellow ribbon into a ponytail. All of his hair is white.
The old man told the three Iwa nins in the room, "You may take your leave." All three men nodded and walked out. However the Tsuchikage told the two other ninjas, "Roshi, Han." Both men stopped at the door and looked at the Tsuchikage.
The old kage told them, "Remember who you serve." Both men nodded and left the room closing the door behind them. Kakuzu saw out of the corner of his eye an Iwa ANBU ninja came out of the wall using a jutsu the Iwa nins are famous for. Kakuzu handed the kid over to the ANBU and he took the baby over to the Tsuchikage, the baby kept crying and crying the moment he left Kakuzu's arms.
The ANBU ninja placed the baby on the kage's desk and moved away so the Tsuchikage investigated the baby and checked him over twice to be sure and even a third time. After he was done he sighed saying to Kakuzu, "Tell me that you have a powerful genjutsu over this baby and that you can dispel it right now." Kakuzu didn't understand asking, "What the hell are you talking about?" The Tsuchikage grabbed the baby by the blanket he was wrapped up in and tossed him at Kakuzu.
Kakuzu reacted by instinct and grabbed the baby and despite being thrown the baby stopped crying and started to smile when he was with Kakuzu. The Tsuchikage said in a low tone, "I paid fifty million ryo to have the baby of the Yondaime Hokage brought to me, the baby that has the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed in it. Do you know how difficult it was to get information like that? Do you know how much careful planning it took to make sure that the package containing the Kyuubi would be delivered to me? That's what I wanted and yet this baby has neither the seal on his body nor any characteristics that he has the beast in him."
Kakuzu made his voice low as well arguing back, "My job was to bring the baby to you, it was those two incompetent ninjas that you hired are the ones who failed you not me Onoki." The Tsuchikage Onoki shook his head telling Kakuzu, "I cannot let this go unpunished. I will kill you and that baby of that bastard as well, I can't have you going around letting rumors spread that I authorized this mission to kidnap the Yondaime's baby, that would turn out very, very bad for me."
Onoki held his hand up to his ANBU saying, "Kill him." The ANBU ninja jumped into action quick charging at Kakuzu. The nuke-nin however wasn't intimidated and opened up a wound in his arm pulling out a couple dozen explosive tag. The next thing the village heard was a loud and big explosion that came from their kage's tower.
Kakuzu jumped out of the building at blinding speed and kept running faster than he's ever ran before while carrying the baby. He was lucky he avoided any ninjas and ran to where he left his weapons, he found the spot where he left everything and jetted off once he got what he needed while carrying the baby. He had to get out of Iwa now. The back of his shirt began to move around and ripping through the back of the shirt were thread like wings that he used to fly at amazing speeds to get away from Iwa and out of Earth Country.
* Two Hours Later: Takigakure *
Kakuzu made it without stopping again to Taki territory and took a moment to rest and deal with the ordeal he just had with Tsuchikage. He set Naruto down on the ground still wrapped in his blanket. Standing up he said, "I'm screwed… The Tsuchikage is after me, my village wants me dead, I have the son of the, Yondaime Hokage with me… Fuck… I got get rid of this kid." He looked around and made a kind of small boat out of twigs and some of his threads coming from his body. He placed the boat next to a stream with the baby on it.
He lifted up the boat and baby and held it in the stream ready to send the baby off. As Little Naruto opened his eyes and looked into Kakuzu's eyes almost as if pleading him not to do it. Kakuzu began to have a struggle within himself saying, "If they connect me with your kidnapping then Konoha will be after me quick… but what if they catch me without you?" although every being in his body told him to drop Naruto in the river, he didn't he instead grabbed Naruto and said, "You're a nuisance, but I could use you."
He got up and started walking away. He looked at the baby cradled in his arm and watched in amusement as the baby kept giggling and smiling, Kakuzu kept walking through the forest saying, "The moment you start to walk Naruto you're goanna to begin your training whether you like it or not and it will not be a cake walk." Kakuzu moved through the forest taking on a student he intends to protect himself.
Okay I'm not going to lie I did kind of cheated midway but with all the shit in my life right now I just wanted get this done as soon as possible.
